A lot of creative accounting would go on behind the scenes, which we won't be privy to. How many would have gone through every inch and quarter of those statements to form a non biased opinion ? It was never about accounting creativity as I already said it’s standard business practice. But chest(breast whatever) thumping on the basis of “supposed” profits when the entire picture of what exactly is happening is clear even by standards of someone like me who has a knowledge of nobody. Is what was in the actual centre of it all. Edited December 14, 2021 by AnK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s really not creative accounting it is one of the basic principles taught at CA Intermediate level, not something complex that’s being discussed here Edited December 14, 2021 by 0verlord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr AnK is pretty much accusing MS of accounting fraud here with his half baked knowledge. 52 minutes ago, 0verlord said: It’s really not creative accounting it is one of the basic principles taught at CA Intermediate level, not something complex that’s being discussed here Nah nah. Not saying it's creative accounting. Just saying it's extremely difficult for a layman (peeps like me) to derive anything substantial out of those public balance sheets. At max, we will have little knowledge. At worse, we will be terribly wrong. Hence for most of us (non CA) folks, those public numbers have limited value unless one is going through with a lens and really understanding in a non biased way. Heck, i find it tough with the different balance sheets of stocks I hold. It's so confusing and time intensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsk_colossus Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 https://www.gameinformer.com/feature/game-informers-top-10-games-of-2021 ”No game is perfect, and Halo Infinite’s launch release has space for improvement. Multiplayer progression, the number of maps, and limited customization all need addressing. And in the campaign, the absence of cooperative play is a gut punch. But a game doesn’t need to be perfect to stand out. Infinite offers immaculate shooting, one of the best original musical scores in years, and a heartfelt storyline rooted in themes of hope and resilience – much-needed topics for many players in 2021. It’s a return to form for a much-beloved franchise and a standout marquee release for Microsoft’s new generation of releases. Halo Infinite is a game we can’t put down and one we’re likely to continue pouring hours into as we head into 2022.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
